1
00:00:01,990 --> 00:00:13,180
I thought opera, opera and opera during the whole place is just kind of a sense of all really you get.

2
00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:22,990
It's quite unlike any other university has been to and I thought at that point that I may as well try and apply to do the course,

3
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:26,880
the interest in the whole teaching system, the tutorials, the kind of student,

4
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,950
the amount of contact time that you get in groups of, of like two or three with the tutor.

5
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,190
It's quite unlike in any other university, I guess.

6
00:00:40,330 --> 00:00:45,969
The group products are great for the students being able to work in a group, especially with people you've never actually worked with before,

7
00:00:45,970 --> 00:00:49,810
which is something that happens in the real world and in the companies in real jobs.

8
00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:52,660
So they actually get to participate in some really cool projects.

9
00:00:53,030 --> 00:00:59,560
Although I've definitely enjoyed it, it was nice to be able to do stuff that wasn't just coding.

10
00:00:59,570 --> 00:01:05,070
So threading around, working in a team, putting together presentations, thinking about how to sell the project.

11
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,030
I chose to do a project with Bank of America because I thought would be good

12
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:13,750
experience working with a big institution on solving a real world problem.

13
00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:20,590
Whereas in the past, I've always worked on my own and it's been a good introspection to see how the different pressures arise for work.

14
00:01:20,590 --> 00:01:29,660
Liberal people. Well, I didn't ever really consider any other course of the computer science.

15
00:01:29,690 --> 00:01:33,110
I have been playing around with computers since I was really young.

16
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:37,190
So when I sold the course in computer science, I thought, That's it.

17
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,250
I always wanted to go to a good university, and I felt there was nothing to lose in applying to Oxford.

18
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:49,940
So I picked that as my first choice, and they never said that.
